The Wrath of Daimajin not OAR

Wanted to give a heads up to anyone that may be interested in ADV's rerelease of their Daimajon films. The second film, The Wrath of Daimajin isn't presented with it's OAR. I just viewed it today and compared it to my original copy, and there is definitly some information missing. You can see a comparrison in the video section of my review here:

It's too bad that ADV went to the trouble to get a remastered print and then didn't give us OAR.

I knew ADV were going to mess this up. I was really excited to see these coming in 16 x 9. Then I remembered the company putting these out. They re-released Destroy All Monsters non 16 x 9. They list the first Gamera film as being 16 x 9 when it is not. There are numerous sound issues and other flubs on their Anime, as I hear it.

I have emailed them, but am not holding my breath for a reply. Hopefully, by some miracle they fix this one.

That sucks. I guess I'll just keep my old 3-Pack.

I have the 3 pack but also sprang for the R2 sets which are all anamorphically enhanced. They were about $37 apiece but well worth it. if you are interested they are still available here: www.cdjapan.co.jp

The first disc is a beautiful 16 x 9 OAR transfer, so definitely get that one. It's only 9.99 at Best Buy.

I just emailed there sales department informing them of this problem. Maybe more emails will open their eyes to this problem. They did such a great job on Daimajin 1.

Thanks,
jg

It's funny that they quote DVDTalk on the back of the DVD, and they are getting bashed(rightfully so) by us.

So the recent re-release of Gamera Guardian of the Universe (that came out with the box set) isn't 16x9?

Gamera GOTU, is not anamorphic. I recently bought the limited edition "turtle shell" like boxset and 2 and 3 are, but not 1.
